This falls right on top of the new Tax mandate from the lovely State of
Maine.
Aircraft flying through or stopping at any airport in Maine will be a sent a
Tax Bill for 5% of their value (sales tax?).
The Tax department has been charged with correlating Flight Plans with
aircraft N-numbers and sending the owner a bill.
The state is trying to collect taxes from Maine Residents who
register/store/base their aircraft in another state to avoid being taxed.

I do hope they are doing the same to all those RVs and Campers who visit
Maine every summer.
Should drive the tourist level down and keep the limited highways clear for
residents.

The solution to the Maine problem appears to be to fly VFR only
through there. They are using IFR flight plans to find you.
